Long time lurker, long time Health Anxiety sufferer.
First time here was for MND, I think around 2016.
Got over that after a while with just 1/2 relapses. Was well aware at the time of my HA symptoms including tingling & burning in my legs, arms, armpits, those symptoms which have led me back down the rabbit hole again.
I had the flu 8 weeks ago, ended up with a sore throat on one side which has went away in the last week.
However, my HA kicked in over the inevitable Tonsil cancer, then throat cancer etc etc.
After the sore throat had gone, I had Post Nasal Drip, leading to lots of congestion on my sore throat side, giving me ear/jaw/eye socket pain & a feeling of tenderness under my jaw, blocked ear feeling & crunching sound, along with pain & shooting pains down my neck & collar bone. Suspicion is sinusitis ( I have a deviated septum) and on day 2 of antibiotics.
Now comes the kicker & the cause of this post. I’ve also had a burning feeling under my right armpit & sometimes into my breast & torso, down my arm into my elbow along with shoulder pain, back & front, and the same burning inside my knee & top of thigh, all since my throat worries kicked in, and mostly down my right side, same side as my throat, sinus, jaw issues. My eye on that side also feels the pressure & seems to be watery & a wee bit stingy!
Similar burning down my left side but only very, very occasionally. This has been going on for 2 weeks now.
No lumps, no rashes, nothing visible.
So here I am.
Well & truly in the MS spiral.
Have all these problems been caused by MS, or Health anxiety?
In the weeks I’ve had all these symptoms, my diagnosis changes daily. I’ve made the rookie mistake of consulting Dr. Google. So far, I’ve diagnosed myself with tonsil cancer/throat cancer/lymphoma/TMJ/Sinus Cancer and today’s venture onto Dr. Google’s couch has me finally with MS!
Sorry for the ramble, and thanks for your time!
